you said you would cut the deficit in half. and we'll have a trillion dollar deficit each of the next four years. if you are re-elected we'll get to a trillion dollar deficit. you said before you would cut it in half. i love this idea of $4 trillion in cuts. you've found $4 trillion to get closer to a balanced budget, yet we still have trillion dollar deficits every year. let me come back -- why don't i want to raise taxes? why don't i want to raise taxes on people? and actually you said it. back in 2010, you said, look, i'm going to extend the tax policies we have. i won't raise taxes on anyone. when we're in a recession, you shouldn't raise taxed on anyone. the economy is still growing slow. as a matter of fact, it's growing much more slowly now than when you made the statement. if you believe the same thing, you don't want to raise taxes on people. and the reality is, it's not just wealthy people, not just donald trump are you taxing. it's all the businesses that employ one quarter of the workers in america, that are taxes a

no tax cut that adds to the deficit. i do want to reduce the burden being paid by middle income americans. that also means i cannot reduce the burden paid by high-income americans. any language to the contrary is simply not accurate. -p>> let's talk about taxes, because i think it is instructive. four years ago when i stood on the stage, i said that i would cut taxes for middle-class families. that is exactly what i did. we cut taxes for middle-class families by about $3,600. the reason is because i believe that we do best when the middle- class is doing well. by giving them those tax cuts, they have more money in their pocket. maybe it does not buy new car. they are in a better position to weather the extraordinary recession we went through. they may be able to buy new computer for their kid who is going off to college. governor romney's proposal that he has been promoting for 18 months calls for of five trillion dollars tax cut on top of $2 trillion of additional spending for our military. he is saying he is going to p

it was $200 billion deficit instead. and now we have a major question facing the american people as to whether we'll deal with this deficit and get it down for the sake of a healthy recovery. virtually every economic analysis that i've heard of, including the distinguished congressional budget office, which is respected by, i think, almost everyone, says that even with historically high levels of economic growth, we will suffer a $263 billion deficit. in other words, it doesn't converge as the president suggests. it gets larger even with growth. what that means is that we will continue to have devastating problems with foreign trade. this is the worst trade year in american history by far. our rural and farm friends will have continued devastation. real interest rates -- the real cost of interest -- will remain very, very high, and many economists are predicting that we're moving into a period of very slow growth because the economy is tapering off and may be a recession. i get it down to a level below 2% of gross nation
